I’m a skincare expert – three shaving mistakes which are stopping you having smooth legs

DO you ever notice that your legs aren’t as smooth as you’d like, even directly after shaving?

Shaving experts have revealed three common mistakes which are preventing you from having the perfect close shave.

The experts at razor company Ecotivity have shared the top three reasons why your legs aren’t smooth after shaving.

In a TikTok video, the experts explained that skipping the aftercare step of shaving can be a reason for stubborn stubble.

Experts recommend using moisturizer or oil to hydrate your skin after shaving.

They also advised viewers to opt for a safety razor over a straight razor.

Safety razors only expose one blade to your skin, allowing for smooth close shaves with less cuts or razor bumps.

And finally, the Ecotivity experts advised TikTok users to scrub their skin before shaving.

Using an exfoliation mitt on your legs prior to shaving helps to remove dirt and dead skin cells.

This pre-shaving process can help unclog pores, allowing you to achieve a closer shave.

The razor company offered additional shaving advice in another video, in which they explained other common mistakes.

These errors included not trimming longer hair before shaving, shaving directly upwards, and using a multiple blade razor.
